Hopefully you've already watched On Any Sunday. WHAT? You haven't? Whyyyyy not? It's one of the most iconic motorcycle movies of all time! And it shares a ton of history and famous names in motorcycling that you may not be aware of. Go check it out.
It sounds like this movie will be released this Fall. I can't wait!
If you've never heard of the Isle of Man TT, it's an incredible exhibition of horsepower, wheelies, endurance, people you can barely understand and SPEED! Everything from electric motorcycles to sidecars to good ole' sportbikes.
May 24th - June 6th, IOMTT 2014.
What I find incredible about IOMTT is the fact that these people are going 100-200mph on an Island. A very very small island. That means they have to avoid people, cement walls, driveways, buildings!
Hopefully you get the Velocity channel in your cable lineup. If not, then you're missing out on some two wheel insanity. It's the only channel as far as I know to watch any of the qualifying / race results here.
Just got this cool tee from a Teespring campaign I found on the 'book! They only made 15 but you can tell them you want one too, so hopefully they'll make more.
The Travelguard Gore-Tex pants are one of the newest options for women from Dainese. Could these work in warm, wet summers?
$379.95 MSRP, Sizes 38-54 (~US 0 - 16), Revzilla.com
I really like the features they offer including adjustable knee armor (haven't inspected in person but that's what the description says!) and the ProShape armor in the hips. I also dig the thigh vents. For this reason, I think they might work in summer/spring too. Especially if you're living in a wet summer climate like I am.
AND they're available in 38!! Euro 38 is basically a US 0. The smallest possible size for petite women. If you've been searching for extremely petite ladies pants, these are one of the best options aside from any of Revit's Size 34 pants. The Euro 54 is approximately a 16, which is definitely a difficult size to find in women's Dainese gear.
I've never had to deal with warm, wet summers before. I have my Revit GoreTex suit, so I'm hoping it won't suffocate me with the heat/humidity I'm going to be dealing with. We'll see.
If you like the idea of a slim fit pant v. a bootleg pant, then I would suggest any of the pants that Dainese has to offer.
As far as what else you could wear if it's hot and humid and raining, I would also recommend something like the Olympia Airglide Jacket and Pants (for a fuller, curvier cut) or the Revit Sand Pants and Jacket (for a more slender, athletic cut) or any Gore-Tex suit like this one or Klim's Altitude for the dual sport crowd. For a brief overview of these outfits, check out the links from this blog post back in February.
